[iptables PATCH 2/3] xtables: Clarify error message when deleting by index

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Trying to delete a rule by index from a non-existent chain leads to a
somewhat confusing error message:

| # iptables-nft -D foobar 1
| iptables: Index of deletion too big.

Fix this by performing chain existence checks for CMD_DELETE_NUM, too.
